Evaluation guide

What buyers should verify

Foundational security requirement

Sensitive-data protection for generative AI

Detect, classify, redact, or block sensitive data in prompts, responses, files, retrieval, memory, and AI-connected workflows.

Questions to test
  1. Sensitive prompt, response, or file test data is detected and classified during an AI interaction.
  2. A policy redacts, blocks, coaches, or records the sensitive data event before it leaves the approved path.
  3. The evidence record shows data class, user, app or model, action, and timestamp.

Foundational security requirement

Unapproved AI use discovery

Discover and monitor workforce AI tools, accounts, prompts, domains, models, users, and usage outside approved controls.

Questions to test
  1. An unmanaged AI app used by a test user appears in discovery inventory with user, app or domain, and timestamp.
  2. The test user's AI usage activity can be filtered or exported with AI-specific context.
  3. Approved and unapproved AI destinations or accounts are distinguishable in the evidence record.

Additional security requirement

Browser and business-application controls

Apply session-level controls in browser and software as a service (SaaS) workflows, including uploads, downloads, copy/paste, sharing, and identity-aware access decisions.

Questions to test
  1. A session-level policy controls upload, download, copy, paste, sharing, or form submission in a browser or software as a service (SaaS) workflow.
  2. The policy decision includes user, app, session, or identity-aware context.
  3. The event record shows affected action, user, app, and timestamp.
